Mac Jones Intentional Grounding - Should it have been a safety?

I called it a 1 in 100,000 play.  I also said it was the right call, but Jones was falling backwards into the endzone and yes his ass would have been in the endzone on the ground.  

 

Heck I'm not sure he was even touched and was tripping over his own feet.

 

To me it this was just such a unique play.

Do you have the same feeling about Josh Allen throwing the td to Davis as he his momentum was taking him out of bounds? According to what you're saying that td pass should not have counted either because "yes he threw the ball while he was in bounds" but he was clearly going out of bounds...you cannot have it both ways

 We all agree on that. I was making the point the he was in the process of falling down in the endzone which is where they should have marked the ball which is then a safety.

 

 Yes the call was right however to me it would've been a safety

Doesn't make any sense. It's where they are on the field , not where they might be later on.

Yes his feet were in the field of play but to me that should have been called a safety as the play if completed would have been a sack in the endzone.

 

Should thie rule be changed (yes probably a 1 in 100,000 occurance).

 

No. It isn't a safety because it isn't a safety.

I think you might be wasting your time.
